Best IB English Literature tutors in Germany & online

Over the twenty years of my teaching career, I’ve taught both the MYP and the DP in four IB schools around the world, engaging with many different cultures and building lasting relationships with students as I’ve prepared them for the rigours of internal assessments and final exams. When I teach, I like to get to the heart of things, revealing the fundamental principles behind the essential skills.

I’m Elise, an IB graduate with 43 points and top marks (7s) in English, French, German, and History, where I also received achievement awards. I went on to study Law and now work internationally in the legal field. Having experienced the IB myself, I understand how challenging it can be, and how much difference the right guidance can make. I love helping students gain confidence in essay-based subjects by showing them how to write clearly, think critically, and approach exams strategically. My goal as a tutor is to help students reach the grades they need while building lasting skills that will serve them well at university and beyond. My tutoring approach is personal and thorough. I have worked with students from a range of backgrounds and always adapt my approach to their personality and learning style. I quickly identify each student’s weaknesses and design clear, structured strategies to turn them into strengths. Alongside teaching, I provide detailed essay feedback, oral exam preparation, and broader IB support, from subject planning to time management and even university applications. I’m also highly responsive and make sure my students always feel supported and heard, whether they need clarification or encouragement. Outside of tutoring, I love learning languages and reading. I speak fluent English, Dutch, German, French and Mandarin, and am working towards beocming fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and Russian. I also love travelling, especially to adventurous destinations.

I’m Julia, an IB graduate with 45 points and an English Literature graduate from Durham University. I achieved 7s in all my subjects and an A in my Extended Essay, and I have been tutoring consistently in Maths HL/SL, English Literature HL, and Biology HL for the past 3 years since I graduated from the IB. My approach as a tutor is to cater my lessons to the student's needs - I like to find the core issues they are struggling with and focus on conceptual understanding, breaking down complex topics, and constructing exam strategies which suit the student's strengths. Beyond teaching, I find it important that my students enjoy learning and feel confident in their skills, so I am a very supportive and encouraging tutor for students finding difficulty managing their time and workload during the course - including giving my own tips from someone who experienced the same thing. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing sports such as volleyball and tennis, I am a big reader, and I am aspiring towards a career in journalism!

I'm Anja, an IB graduate with 42 points and I currently study Biological and Biomedical Sciences at Trinity College Dublin. I achieved 7s for both my HL Biology exams, IA, and an A for my Biology-based Extended Essay. I also achieved 7s for my English Literature exams, individual oral, and HL essay. This is my 3rd year formally tutoring students. When tutoring, I prioritise having students understand the logical background to a concept. Across my students, I feel a real appreciation for the different ways that students learn and work, and change approaches depending on the student, to find strategies best suited to the student. I have a genuine love for my subjects, and am always excited to engage with them through tutoring! I've been in the IB for the primary, middle, and diploma programmes (PYP, MYP and DP), so my methods of learning and teaching have always been rooted in the values of the IB itself, giving me an intimate understanding of the program and the ways they expect students to apply their knowledge. Outside of tutoring and college, I really enjoy boxing, visual arts and playing the saxophone as part of a jazz club!

With over a decade of experience in international education, I’ve supported IB students across English, History, Global Politics, and Theory of Knowledge, both in top-tier schools and as a freelance tutor/coach. I’ve guided hundreds through every stage of the IB journey—from internal assessments to final exams—with an emphasis on personalized learning and deep understanding. Drawing on professional training in pedagogy and counselling, I offer thoughtful, holistic support that blends subject expertise with strategic insight, helping students craft strong written work, sharpen exam technique, and approach learning with confidence and clarity.

I'm Eryk, a recent first-class law graduate from Oxford, an IB graduate with 44 points and a future commercial lawyer. I achieved 7s in HL Economics, English and History. As a tutor, I have high expectations for my students, as I know from experience that the only way to truly excel is to practise, practise and practise. My primary objective as a tutor is not to be just another teacher, but to focus on strategies that will enable my students to practise and prepare independently. I believe that teaching someone how to teach themselves is infinitely more valuable than simply teaching a concept, and I hope to teach my students skills they can apply beyond the IB. Outside of tutoring, I like running, reading, cooking and travelling. One of my more niche hobbies includes building plastic models. I also speak three languages, English, Polish and Russian, and I am currently learning German and Mandarin.
